•Overheating — Unit automatically shuts down if it exceeds a safe temperature.
•Safety Power Switch and Reverse Polarity Alarm — In event the cables/clamps are reversed during

AC AND DC CHARGING/RECHARGING
Use a common household AC extension cord for charging (cord not supplied).
For maximum battery life, we recommend the unit be kept fully charged at all times. If the battery is allowed to remain in a discharged state, battery life will be shortened.
•MAKE SURE ALL SWITCHES ARE TURNED OFF DURING RECHARGING.
•Charge the unit for a full 24 hours using AC method before first use.
•Recharge the unit fully after each use.
•Recharge the unit every two months when it has not been used regularly.
Notes: Recharging the battery after each use prolongs battery life; frequent discharges between recharges reduces battery life.
The Electromate Plus also comes with a DC/DC charging adapter for recharging the unit from a 12 volt DC accessory outlet in a vehicle.
If unit is fully discharged, it is recommended that the vehicle being used for recharging be left running while the unit is charged via the 12 volt DC method.

12 Volt DC Charging
The DC recharging method will NOT recharge the unit as effectively as recharging from 120 volt AC. The 12 volt DC recharging procedure is recommended only when it is necessary, since frequent use of the 12 volt DC recharging procedure may shorten the battery system’s life.
1. | Insert the |
| accessory outlet. |
2. | Insert the |
| panel of the unit. |
3. | To check the charge status of the battery during DC charging, disconnect the DC |
| adapter from the accessory outlet and push the Battery Charge Level pushbutton. |
Air Inflator Nozzles
Observe the battery charge indicator. |
4. When charging is complete, remove the power cord and return it to the storage |
compartment. |
